Ivuhos Island is small and rather low, except a hill on the south end. A coral beach before the hill on the eastern side is the only safe landing place on the island. The shores on both sides of the channel are bordered by reef.[4] The flood tide sets southward with a velocity from 3 to 4 knots, and the ebb northward.
